Half of the title is missing up there so here it goes: Cheese, walnut & frisee lettuce salad with grapes, that simple, because there isn´t anything to add to this recipe. In 15 minutes you´ll have a gorgeous salad, besides, no cooking is required and that in summer is really important. Holidays and the time I spend out of my kitchen keeps me disconnected from the blog. This is what summer is all about.

FRISEE LETTUCE SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND CHEESEINGREDIENTS SERVES 8For the vinaigrette:
1tbsp cumin seeds
1tbsp white wine
3tbsp olive oil
3 sprigs fresh dill, finely shopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
Salt and pepper
For the salad:
1 large head frisee lettuce, finely shredded lengthways
4 pears, quartered and finely sliced
100gr shelled walnuts lightly toasted
100gr cheese, shaved as thin as you can manage. The original recipe used *halloumi but I couldn´t find it so I´ve used a homemade cheese made with goat milk which was delicious.
A bunch of fresh chervil or parsley, leaves only.

METHOD
1. To make the vinaigrette, whisk together all the ingredients, season with salt and pepper and put to one side.
2. To make the salad, in a large bowl, gently toss together the lettuce, pears, grapes and walnuts, previously toasted.
3. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and again gently toss to combine. Serve the salad in small bowls, garnished with the cheese and the chervil or parsley. Remember to shaved the cheese so thin it´s almost transparent.
